Just as the news of the Tomes of Arcane had spread like wildfire and the various forces were rubbing their palms together, another matter that could affect the future situation had already begun to take shape in the Directorate of Heavens.
In a quiet room in Si Tiantai, Mu Zixuan and Yue Cang Qiong were sitting with their eyes closed, waiting quietly, as if waiting for a visitor.
After a long time. Suddenly, Yue Cang Qiong opened his eyes and said, "He's here!"
Half a second later, Mu Zixuan sensed the slight movement of the air outside the room. While secretly praising Yue Cang Qiong's cultivation, she gently waved her sleeves, and a soft force blew the door open.
Once the door was opened, the field of vision suddenly widened. Mu Zixuan looked out of the room and saw a white-clothed Taoist walking in the moonlight.
The person seemed to be neither fast nor slow, but in a blink of an eye, he was already close to them. He landed in front of the door without a speck of dust on his feet, then stepped into the room and closed the door. Then, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for waiting so late at night, Sword Emperor and Alliance Master Mu."
Sword Emperor nodded slightly as a return greeting.
And Mu Zixuan said casually, "Brother Ji sent a letter saying that he has something to discuss with me. How would I dare to neglect it? But I'm already used to being ordered around by you, so it's fine. But even Sword Emperor was alarmed. What's the matter? "
The person was calm and moved like the wind and clouds. Of course, it was Ji Fengming. But Ji Fengming smiled and said, "Alliance Master Mu knows everything, why don't you take a guess."
Mu Zixuan saw that although Chu Yang still looked fatigued, his brows had already relaxed. He couldn't help but feel suspicious and asked, "Looking at you, could it be that Divine Doctor Chu has found a way to save Palace Master Wei?"
Ji Fengming smiled as if she wanted to share her joy with her friend, "Not so fast, but Divine Doctor Chu has made a breakthrough. He still needs time to study how to apply acupuncture, but he has made progress in using medicine."
However, he didn't know that Mu Zixuan heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Then, she said sternly, "As expected. Since Brother Ji came to the Righteous Sky Alliance, it must be related to your master."
Ji Fengming nodded and said, "That's right. This is related to my Master's safety and the plan to fight against the Six Realms. So, I'll be frank with you. We still lack five herbs, two of which are extremely difficult to obtain. We need the help of the Righteous Sky Alliance!"
Mu Zixuan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What kind of medicinal herb is it? Even Divine Doctor Chu is troubled? "
Ji Fengming said, "One is the White Mountain Black Water Thousand Year Ginseng, which is only produced at Mount Taibai (today's Changbai Mountain) outside the Northeast Pass. Another is the Ten Year Essence Ginseng, the Hundred Year King Ginseng, and the Thousand Year Immortal Ginseng. The Thousand Year Ginseng is something that can only be found by luck. Even if you search the entire Taibai Mountain, you might not be able to find one. Furthermore, the Taibai Mountain is occupied by the local shamans. They test all the ginseng on the mountain as their own products and do not allow outsiders to enter or leave.
It's even more difficult to collect the ginseng without being noticed. "But Sword Emperor snorted and said," It's not that difficult. Since the mountain is occupied by the shamans, they must have the Thousand Year Ginseng. Let's just ask them for it directly! "
"Even if they have the Thousand Year Ginseng, it's still regarded as a supreme treasure. How can they give it to others so easily …" Ji Fengming was about to say this, but when she saw Yue Cang Qiong's disdainful look, she suddenly understood that Sword Emperor's so-called 'ask' was really just 'ask'. It didn't matter whether the other party was willing to give it to him or not …
Ji Fengming coughed lightly and continued, "The other item is in a place further north. There's an Ice Cave near the North Sea. The inside of the Ice Cave is extremely cold. The ice and snow won't melt for tens of thousands of years. Even cultivators can't stand the bone-chilling cold, so few people go there. But there's a kind of 'Essence of Ice', which is the second item that we need."
"What is Essence of Ice?" Mu Zixuan had never heard of this item before, so she couldn't help but ask.
Ji Fengming said, "Essence of Ice is a special product of the Ice Cave. It usually appears in the center of the iceberg. It's the purest thing condensed from the iceberg. But if you want to get the Essence of Ice, you have to cut open the iceberg. This is really not something that can be done by ordinary people …"
After listening to Ji Fengming's words, Mu Zixuan also knew how difficult it was to get these two items.
Not to mention the rare Thousand Year Ginseng in Changbai Mountain, if you want to get the ginseng, you have to become the enemy of all the local Shamans. The Shamans were barbaric and had a large number of people. Most of them were good at all kinds of strange witchcraft that were different from the cultivation methods of the Central Plains. It was impossible to guard against them. Countless cultivators had died because they looked down on these barbaric Shamans.
But if you want to get the Essence of Ice, it was difficult enough to endure the extreme cold. It was even more difficult to break open the iceberg that had been frozen for thousands of years and was as hard as steel. It was even more difficult to cut open the iceberg and take out the Essence of Ice.
Ji Fengming said with embarrassment, "It's my duty to save Master, but I still have to guard Master's stone statue. I can't go out to look for herbs for a long time. Now that the Wanxiang Heavenly Palace is in ruins and no one else has the ability to get the herbs, I can only seek help from the Righteous Sky Alliance."
Mu Zixuan naturally understood Ji Fengming's intention, but he said with a troubled expression, "I see. But in the Righteous Sky Alliance, I'm afraid only Senior Sword Emperor and I have the confidence to get these two items. But now that the Battle of the Heavenly Book is approaching, I still have to stay in the alliance and deal with the Six Dao Evil Destruction. I have no time to spare. Moreover, I'm good at palm techniques. Although I can break open the iceberg, I'm afraid I'll need more time …"
Wasting time and energy to save Wei Wushuang was naturally the opposite of his interests. Mu Zixuan had already kicked the ball to Yue Cang Qiong. After all, Sword Emperor was the ultimate sword in the world. To break open the iceberg, the world's sharpest sword technique, the Golden Sword Ray, was the best choice.
Yue Cang Qiong had not made any big moves since he joined the alliance. But Mu Zixuan, who was always on guard against him, did not believe that the Sword Emperor would be willing to be under someone else. She might as well take the opportunity to send him away. It would take at least three to four months to a year to collect these two rare herbs. Now that the Battle of the Heavenly Book was approaching, it would save him the trouble.
Ji Fengming understood Mu Zixuan's hidden meaning, so he bowed and said, "I wonder if Senior Sword Emperor can make a trip to the north? The Wanxiang Heavenly Palace will be grateful! "
Mu Zixuan also took the opportunity to bring up the name of the Righteous Sky Alliance and said, "It's rare for Brother Ji to be of use to the Righteous Sky Alliance. If Senior Sword Emperor is willing to represent the Righteous Sky Alliance, that would be great!"
Although the two heroes had different thoughts, they both looked at Yue Cang Qiong with hope. One moved him emotionally, while the other reasoned. After a moment of silence, Yue Cang Qiong nodded and said, "This world will be boring without Wei Wushuang. Alright, I'll make a trip for you!"
Ji Fengming bowed and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you Senior Sword Emperor for your help, Ji Fengming is very grateful!"
"There's no need to thank me. Since I've joined the Righteous Sky Alliance, I naturally have to do something. Let's not waste any more time, I'll make a move at dawn. Alliance Leader Mu, I'll leave a letter for you to pass to Master Wu Qingpo of the Martial Controlling Tower of the Spring and Autumn Sword Tower. When I'm not around, he'll lead the Spring and Autumn Sword Tower for me!"
"You've agreed so easily. Yue Cang Qiong, are you really affected by Master and Yu Wenfeng's sword skills, or are you trying to do a favor for the Wanxiang Heavenly Palace? If it's the latter, I'm afraid your efforts will be in vain! " Mu Zixuan thought to herself, but at the same time, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sword Emperor. I'll pass this to Master Wu."
Then, she turned to Ji Fengming and said, "Brother Ji, since Senior Sword Emperor has made a move, the Ice Essence and the Millennium Ginseng are already in our hands. What about the other three herbs? Is there anything I can help with?"
But Ji Fengming shook her head and said, "Although the other herbs are precious, they're not hard to obtain. The Wanxiang Heavenly Palace can handle them. She's already started."
"Oh, Brother Ji is referring to …"
Ji Fengming's eyes became gentle and she smiled confidently, "Of course, my junior sister!"

"Senior Shang Ying's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary. This Lengxiang Pill is fragrant and pure. No wonder even Divine Doctor Chu praised her and asked to borrow medicine from her."
Among the beautiful mountains and rivers, a young girl with picturesque features was carrying a red umbrella on her shoulder. Her slender hand was holding a small jade porcelain bottle. She opened the bottle and sniffed it gently. Her face revealed an intoxicated expression, which made her look even more beautiful. Then, she opened her eyes slightly and glanced at the person beside her. She pretended to be angry and said, "But your teacher spoils you too much. She actually sent all the Lengxiang Pills she made to you. My trip to the Ling Xiao Sword School was in vain!"
Beside the woman with the red umbrella, there was also a beautiful young girl. She had willowy eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. Her skin was as flawless as jade. She didn't wear any makeup, but she had a kind of elegance that surpassed the snow. A long sword hung on her waist, which added a bit of heroic spirit to her. She and the woman with the red umbrella could be said to be competing with each other for the spring. But at this moment, she slightly frowned and said angrily, "You should be happy that I'm willing to give you the Lengxiang Pills. Now, you're blaming me. Take these pills with you. I won't see you off."
